First season - no more than an intro As I've finished watching to first season, it seems like I've watched only the first half of the show. As I've learned in elementary school, you can divide a story roughly on four parts: introduction, rising action, climax and conclusion. This season was 6 episodes of introduction and 1 episode of rising action finished with a weird episode that started as introduction just to finish as a climax. I've seen many shows that continued through many seasons, but still every season offered some event that, even though is leading to final event, can stand alone as a introduction, climax and conclusion. Besides the faulty plot, what I didn't like are the graphic and sound effects, but that goes into a individual opinion. I find realistic graphics to be better, also the amount of slow motion scene and huge amounts of blood just blocking the screen completely is not my thing. I think some of the scenes also were too much, it seems like they were trying to put something new, something intriguing and provocative. You can see sex scenes in almost every show today, so it is boring, close-up sex scenes with lots of details, still seen. So they put on gay sex with more than a fair share of details, just so they could end up in papers.
What I liked about the show were dialogues, explanations, characters, actors and the general storytelling. I can't remember a bad dialog, that might be offensive or out of place, or even not to match to the character. By explanations, I am thinking on introductions of a certain God, which are detailed and interesting. Characters are greatly combined, nicely filtered among many religions and actors they have chosen really do fit their characters.
